Book writing strategies. Are you a “pantser,” an outliner or somewhere in between? One is not better than the other. They’re all equally good. It’s just important that you figure out who you are.
Vlog
I want to encourage those of you who are writers to find what your style is and what works for you.
Are you an outliner a pantser or somewhere in between?
What is your writing style?
Outliner, Pantser, or In-Betweener?
Now an outliner is someone who plans out the project ahead of time and develops an outline.
A pantser is someone who writes from the seat of his or her pants and is able to just start writing and go and have a lot of success doing that.
Maybe you’re somewhere in between.
I remember when I was in high school and grade school, they would ask us to write a paper and they would want us to give them an outline. They were trying to teach us how to be outliners and how to write from an outline.
I was a little bit more of a pantser, or maybe I just didn’t like to plan that much. But sometimes I would write the paper first, and then I would go back and make up the outline from the paper. That’s sort of like how a pantser works, although I don’t consider myself that much in these days.
Now, I have also learned the value of planning your project before you write it. Nowadays, I am more inclined to do at least some type of outline first before I write.
Book Writing Strategies: Be an Outliner
An outliner can be a very extensive outliner.
They may be a person who would write complete sentences for all the main points, all the sub-points, all the sub-sub-points, and so forth. By the time they had that done, they would have a lot of words already.
Sample outline
They know what direction their book is going to go and how it would end. Once that was done, all they would have to do is just go in and fill it out.
Some outlines may not be as detailed.
Some may have complete sentences for the 3-7 main points and then just have phrases or words for the sub-points and then just words for the sub-sub-points.
Or maybe just words for the main points and single words for the sub-points and so forth.
It’s whatever works for them, but they still have a pretty detailed plan before they start.
Book Writing Strategies: Be a Pantser
Do you prefer to write by the seat of your pants?
Now a pantser would have an idea of where he’s going and just take off writing and keep writing toward the end in view. If it’s someone who is really good at it, that’s all they need to do. Ups and downs and twists and turns that the writing project would take in between just come naturally to them.
A true pantser has the natural ability to go up and down and use literary devices as they work.
Book Writing Strategies: Be an In-Betweener
Then there is the person who is somewhere in between.
In the area of writing fiction, Randy Ingermanson. has developed a method that’s called the snowflake method. That method is in between the two.
I consider myself to be sort of in between, although now I lean more toward a plan than I used to.
The in-betweener uses both methods.
Let me give you some ideas if you’re an in-betweener. If you are a fiction writer, you might have a story that goes something like this: There is a character, (describe that character) who had a problem (describe the problem). Then you could have maybe three major disasters that happen.
In the first part of the story, you come to a major disaster. Maybe your character overcomes it, maybe not, but it leads to another one. Build that as you continue working on trying to solve the problem. So then the second major disaster comes about halfway through, and another major disaster about three-fourths of the way through. Then you have the resolution, the climax, the ending, and then you tie up the loose ends.
So if you’re a fiction writer, and you want to have the in-between of the outline and being a pantser you might think of the three major disasters and know how the resolution is going to come about.
If you are a nonfiction writer, instead of having major disasters, you will have either steps to a solution to a problem or different ways of solving a problem.
So you would want to have at least an idea of what the problem is and have some sentences or key words that would remind you of what you know to be the solution or the steps to the solution of that problem.
That would be an example of an in-between method for nonfiction writing.
More Tips and Information
There’s also a type of blueprint that you can do with 12 to 15 ideas. Take those ideas and turn them into questions, and have bullet points related to the questions.
Although that’s closer to an outline idea, it still allows your creativity to flow as you go through doing that.
Useful tool!

A couple of weeks ago, I did a post on the wedding at Cana where Jesus turned the water into wine. Then I wrote about Jesus healing the nobleman’s son and how you can be a noble person.
This week I’m covering another miracle of Jesus, and what to do when you feel all alone. It’s found in John 5.
Sermon video
John 5:1-18
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great crowd of invalids, blind, lame, and paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water. After the stirring of the water, whoever stepped in first was healed of whatever disease he had. 5 A certain man was there who had an illness for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been in that condition now a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred. But while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 Immediately the man was healed, took up his bed, and walked. That day was the Sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath day. It is not lawful for you to carry your bed.” 11 He answered them, “He who healed me said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ” 12 So they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” 13 Now the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have become whole. Sin no more lest something worse happens to you.” 15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 So the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath day. 17 Jesus answered them, “My Father is working still, and I am working.” 18 So the Jews sought even more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
The Sick Man Healed…and Scolded!
The sick would wait for the waters to stir to get a chance to be healed
Verse 2 talks about a pool of water. Invalids would gather around it waiting for an angel to stir the water. Some people think the water had medicinal properties, but I don’t think it did. If that was the case, it would have had healing properties no matter what.
The man mentioned here had been laying by the water for years. He watched closely and when he saw the waters stir, he tried to get there first. But because he had no one to help him get to the water, someone always beat him to it.
Then Jesus came and asked if he wanted to be healed. The man didn’tr realize who Jesus was and explained his situration. He was still looking at what earthly people were able to do.
Jesus told him to get up, pick up his bed, and walk. The man may have doubted. But he did as Jesus saidf and he had been healed!
This healing took place on the Sabbath. When the Jewish leaders saw the man carrying his bed and told him it was unlawful for him to carry his bed on that day. He told them about the man who had told him to do it. The man had broken the Sabbath.
Jesus had already moved on, so the leaders spoke to the man. There he was, all excited about being healed, and he was scolded.
But Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. He said we are to do good. What’s better? Keeping some rules or following Jesus’ lead.
Of course it’s important to set aside a day for rest and worship. It’s good for your physical, mental, and spiritual health. In Luke 14:5, Jesus said, “Which of you having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”
After the man was scolded by the Jewish leaders, Jesus found him again. He told the man to go on his way and “sin no more.”
The Jewish leaders were angry at what Jesus had done.
So the man left and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. This angered them even more because He had healed (done work) on the Sabbath. Not only that, He had also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. They wanted Him dead.
Jesus IS the Messiah
As I’ve said before, John 20:31 says, “But these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”
Then in 1 John 5:13 he writes, “I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.”
So the Gospel of John shows us who Jesus is.
We’ve seen some near disasters in the story so far, then the resolutions, and then persecutions coming again.
I think there are four applications we can make in our lives from this.
When You’re All Alone, Look to Jesus for Help
Think about the three Hebrew children (Daniel 3). They were ordered by King Nebuchadnezzar to bow down and worship a false god, which would break the second commandment; no idols. The three, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, refused.
The whole nation complied, with the exception of these three. The king had ordered that anyone who disobeyed his decree would be thrown into the firey furnace.
Three went in, but the king saw four.
After they had been thrown in, the king went and looked inside. Instead of three inside, there were four.
The Bible says the fourth was “like the Son of God.” (Daniel 3:25) I believe it was the Son of God.
When the time came to open the door of the furnace, they came out, their clothes weren’t burned, their eyebrows weren’t singed, and they didn’t even smell like smoke.
They came out unscathed, and God took care of them.
Then there’s Daniel.
The order was given that no one was allowed to pray. Daniel made the decision that he was going to continue to pray just like he always had. Three times a day, he went into an upper room, left the doors and windows open, and talked to God.
Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den alone.
The punishment for Daniel’s defiance was to spend the night in the lions’ den.
He was thrown in with no man to help him.
The next day, the king called down to Daniel and asked if his God had been able to save him. Daniel looked up and said, “O king, God sent His angel to shut the lions’ mouths so they have not hurt me.” (Daniel 6)
God took care of him.
We have the story of Jonah.
He was swallowed by a great fish or whale. The animal had been prepared to do something unusual.
Jonah was in the belly of that fish alone for three days. There was no man to help him. But while in there, Jonah prayed. After three days, the fish “spit him out” on dry ground.
Jonah spent 3 days alone in the belly of a big fish.
Jonah went on to Nineveh, preached, and there was a great revival.
God took care of him.
When you feel like you’re all alone, look to Jesus for your help.
People have had loved ones pass away for one reason or another. Maybe a father dies while serving his country, leaving behind a wife and kids. Maybe a mother suffers from a terminal illness, and she leaves behind a husband and children. Single parents. It’s difficult to raise children all alone.
But the Bible tells us that God will be a father to the fatherless and a husband to the widows. (Psalm 68:5-6) and God is our comforter (2 Corinthians 1:3)
All over the world, persecuted Christians are facing death seemingly alone. But they aren’t alone. God is with them.
When You Sense God is Prompting You to Do Something Unusual, Act on It
My son and daughter-in-law (Rusty and Brenda) are missionaries in Japan. Something that all missionaries have in common is that it takes money for them to get where they need to go. It takes money for them to be able to survive.
My son and his family are missionaries in Japan.
Most countries that missionaries go to will not allow them to take other jobs in their country because it will take jobs away from their citizens. They go to the country under a missionary visa and they have to have that support that comes to them.
Rusty was raised in southern Illinois and Brenda was raised in Oklahoma. Neither were familiar with big cities. God spoke to each of them independently about becoming missionaries. After discussing it together, they understood that He wanted them to go to Japan.
So Rusty, from tiny little Thompsonville, Illinois, and his wife, were told that they needed to secure $108,000 a year.
Many people thought that was an excessive amount and it would make Rusty and Brenda rich.
However, Rhonda and I went to visit them in Japan. While there, we went to the grocery store and decided to buy them a watermelon. When you translated the Japanese amount into American dollars, that watermelon was $40!
So, $108,000 a year was not an excessive amount for them to live on in Japan.
Before leaving, they had to go out to various churches and raise money and get sponsors. They’d go out, and when they came home I would ask how it went. They would say it went great, someone had given them $30. Next time it was $50, then $400. But, those were all one-time offerings.
They just kept going, though.
They started coming back with the news that a couple people had committed to giving them $25 a month, then some people committed a little more.
After about 10 months, they had gotten so much support that they were up to 80% of what they needed. That was a miracle to me!
They made the plans and were able to go. When God calls you to do something that seems hard or even impossible, do it!
He will bless you for it.
Get to Know Jesus
When the Jewish leaders asked the man who had healed him, he didn’t know. Then Jesus found him. (Aren’t you glad that Jesus comes to us?)
It only takes one offer of salvation for us to turn down, and then it’s on us. I believe that every person, at some point in their life, will have some type of encounter with Jesus.
What about those who have never heard?
Study the Bible to get to know Jesus better.
Here’s what we know: If they look up at the stars and realize that there’s a creator, God is going to send them some way to have more light.
What about those that live in countries where they could be killed for converting to Christianity? People have had dreams. In those dreams, Jesus came to them. You may think that it was just a dream, but it was the real Jesus and they accepted Him!
How do I know it was real? Because after they woke up, they tell people that they met Jesus in a dream. They face the loss of their own lives. That’s how I know it’s real. They met Jesus.
I believe that in every person’s life, Jesus, the Savior of the world, will come to them with an offer of salvation. It’s what you choose to do with Jesus that will count when you come to the end of this life.
But it goes beyond that single act of salvation. Get to know God. The man who was healed didn’t know who Jesus was. Jesus came to him, and he got to know Jesus.
How do we get to know Jesus?
One of the ways is through studying the Word of God. You may not have read a book since high school. Reading may be difficult for you.
When we lived in Georgia, we interviewed some parents who wanted to enroll their child in the Christian school we had. Sometime after evening, the pastor asked the father about his salvation experience. The father confessed that he had been intoxicated the night we had visited. But the pastor had shown the man the scriptures and told him how Jesus wanted to save him. That night, he believed.
After that, he became a Bible scholar. He would read a passage of scripture, and see the number at the bottom of the page that represented a corresponding or related verse, so he’d go read that. He told me once that he’d done it for three hours the night before. If he had trouble understanding some words, he would get a dictionary and look them up.
The Word of God is different than any other book. It is a living Word. I believe that if you take it and read just a little bit, search and meditate on it, the Bible says you will have good success.
That’s one of the ways to get to know God.
Another way is to talk to God. You don’t have to use flowery King James language.
Talk to God.
Richard Wurmbrand was a Romanian Lutheran priest. He lived in a Communist country and was imprisoned because of his faith. He founded the organization called “The Voice of the Martyrs.”
He sat in a prison cell after having undergone an extensive time of torture. The physical suffering had devastated his mind. He started trying to pray.
“Our Father, Which art in Heaven. Hallowed be Thy ….” Then he could not remember anymore.
Richard Wurmbrand
I thought how disheartened I would have been if that had happened to me. But, then he said, “Suddenly it came to me that it was what we call ‘The Lord’s Prayer.’ I was so happy I could remember what prayer it was. It was like the glory of the Lord came down and filled the prison.
A young boy found a young girl’s name on a messaging site. After looking over her profile, the boy thought she sounded interesting and began to send her messages.
She replied and they chatted back and forth for some time. The more they talked, the more they wanted to know about one another. Finally, the boy asked if he could just call her.
They wanted to know each other better.
Tell Others About Him
An old friend, who has since passed away, often told me that in the past, he didn’t give God credit. Then he got saved and got to know God in such a way that he wasn’t ashamed and didn’t’ care what others thought.
Tell others about Jesus and what He’s done for you.
That’s what we all need to do. We need to tell others about Jesus.
There was a football player who would kneel down and pray after getting a touchdown.
Controversies aside, here’s the point. If you know God, if you know Jesus, and you know you’re saved and that your life has been changed, and there’s someone who needs help, they may just need you to tell them where that help is.
They can turn to Jesus.
If you’ve never called upon the Lord, I would say that you need to do that today!
Call upon Him.
Do you feel like you’re all alone? You’re not. Jesus is present. Call upon Him. He can help you in your time of need.
There was a little boy who was excited about the day because he wasn’t going to have to do his regular chores that day. His mother was preparing some food so he went over to look at it. He asked what she was doing. She said since she didn’t know how long they were going to be at the event, she was making a lunch to take with them.3.
She was packing a meal of leftovers: Two fish and five loaves of bread.
They headed to a hillside in Galilee where they had heard the Master was going to be speaking. They were excited because they had heard about healings that had taken place in His presence and had heard about His teaching. They were looking forward to hearing Jesus speak to them.
When they arrived, a couple of men came and introduced themselves to the small family. One said his name was Philip, He told them it was good that they had gotten there early, and it was good that they were there to hear Jesus speak.
He told them of a time when they had heard Him speak in that same area, and pointed out a spot where the sound would carry and thought that might be where Jesus would speak from that day. (All of these details aren’t found in the book of John. This account is also found in Matthew, 14:13-21, Mark 6:30-44, and Luke 9:10-17.)
The mother saw some friends and decided to go sit with them for a while. Then another man walked up and introduced himself as Andrew.
The boy was especially excited because he had been given the special responsibility of carrying their lunch. Andrew saw the bread and commented that the boy had come prepared. The boy said they even had enough to share if he wanted to.
People were coming that day because word of Jesus’ miracles had spread. They had heard about Him turning the water into wine, and about the healing of the nobleman’s son.
They knew about the man at the Pool of Bethesda who had tried and tried to get to the water as it was stirred so he could be healed but had never succeeded. Then Jesus told him to take up his bed and walk, and he was instantly healed.
The people continued to arrive throughout the day. They brought their sick and Jesus began healing them.
Others were coming to hear Jesus teach, so they began to gather on the hillside.
At one point, Jesus began to teach. The people were so enthralled that they didn’t realize the time, and that they hadn’t had lunch yet. Some of the disciples wanted Jesus to send the people out to the town so they could get some food.
Possible Crisis
Jesus turned to Philip, and there came a possible crisis point of belief. There are times in life when you need to make a decision, and you need to believe. If you don’t believe or act on your belief, you’re not going to get the blessing that could be there.
Jesus asked Philip, “Where can we buy bread, so these people can eat?”
The Bible says that Jesus asked Philip this because He wanted to test him. Philip told Him that there wouldn’t be enough money if they had 200 days of wages, to feed all those people.
Another crisis point: Andrew had some information. He didn’t think the information would solve the problem, so he debated as to whether he would even say anything to Jesus or not. He decided he would. He told Jesus about the boy with the 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread.
The third possible crisis point came when Jesus told the disciples to do something. They were focused on the impossibility of the situation. However, they had been around Jesus long enough to know that they needed to do what He said.
Many of us would have thought that this was an impossible situation. The disciples realized that Jesus was not going to send the people to the villages to purchase food. They had the 2 small fish and 5 loaves of bread, and Jesus was telling them to get the people ready to be fed.
Jesus told them to instruct the crowd to gather into groups of 50 or 100. That’s how we know that it was 5,000 men that were there. That didn’t include the women and children.
Could this feed over 5,000 people?
Then Jesus did the impossible.
The Scripture
John 6:1-15 After these things Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great crowd followed Him, because they saw His signs which He did for the sick. 3 Then Jesus went up on a mountain, and He sat there with His disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread that these may eat?” 6 He said this to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for each of them to receive but a little.” 8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish. But what are they among so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, numbering about five thousand. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; and likewise, they distributed the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 When they were filled, He told His disciples, “Collect the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.” 13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 When those men saw the sign which He had done, they then said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” 15 Therefore, knowing that they would come and take Him by force to make Him king, Jesus departed again to a mountain by Himself alone.
They recognized that Jesus was the Messiah, but they still had the worldly mindset that He was going to take them away from the authoritarian government.
He was there for so much more. He was going to take care of what would happen in their lifetime and more than just that day.
Jesus met their needs.
He met their needs for physical food on that day. He met their needs for healing. He met their needs by teaching them the scriptures from the Old Testament.
Although it doesn’t say it in these passages, I believe it was like it was when He spoke to the disciples on the road to Emmaus, (Luke 24:13-35) speaking to them from the Law and the Prophets. He showed how those scriptures pointed to Him.
They recognized Him as the Messiah, but He also knew that they were going to try to set Him as a political king. That is when He left.
There were physical healings on that day, but there was something that every member of that crowd experienced.
Those that did not need physical healing saw a miracle take place with their own eyes. It wasn’t hearsay. Over 5,000 men and their families saw this great miracle that Jesus performed on that day and they knew He had to be the Christ.
Back to Everyday Life
After they left, they had to go back to normal life.
We know that life isn’t always sweetness and roses. Sometimes, even among the roses, there are thorns. Sometimes there are difficulties. Their lives were no different. They had their share of problems, too.
But because they became aware of Christ and believed in Him, the scripture says that the ones who believe in His Name will be saved. Regardless of how difficult their lives may have been after that day, if they believed in Him, eventually, they wound up in Glory.
Sometimes you and I have difficulties. We may have happiness in our lifetime, or we may not. But one day, we will be with the Lord forever.
We’ve had the story and we’ve had the scriptures.
The Application
I have 4 thoughts that come out of this concept of facing the impossible
First of all, evaluate the situation. Look at every scenario that you can think of, every nook and cranny.
If you’re a business person, you may have a business plan that says if it gets to this point, I will shut it down. If you’ve come to the time to shut it down, so to speak, then do that.
But it may be during the time that something looks impossible that God wants to do something unusual.
Secondly, use what you have. They had 2 fish and 5 loaves.
Moses had a rod in his hand. God told him to throw it down, and when he did it became a snake. Moses ran from it, but God told him to pick it up by the tail. He did, and it became a rod again. (Exodus 4:1-4)
Moses used his rod as God instructed and the Red Sea parted!
When the Israelites were leaving Egypt and came to the Red Sea, they didn’t know how they would get across. God told Moses to lift his rod over the water and the sea parted and the Nation was able to cross on dry land and escape Pharaoh’s army. (Exodus 14)
Exodus 17:8-16 talks about the battle against the Amalekites. Moses went to the top of a hill and held his arms out, holding the rod in one hand. His arms began to grow tired, so he lowered his arms.
When he did that, Israel began to lose the battle. When his arms were raised, they were winning. He sat on a stone and a man got on either side of him to support his arms.
Israel won the battle.
Use what you have. It might be an impossible situation, but God can take a little thing and make something big out of it. There’s a song written by Kittie L. Suffield that I want to share with you.
Little is Much
In the harvest field now ripened There’s a work for all to do; Hark! the Master’s voice is calling, To the harvest calling you. Little is much when God is in it! Labor not for wealth or fame; There’s a crown, and you can win it, If you go in Jesus’ name. In the mad rush of the broad way, In the hurry and the strife, Tell of Jesus’ love and mercy, Give to them the Word of Life. Does the place you’re called to labor Seem so small and little known? It is great if God is in it, And He’ll not forsake His own. Are you laid aside from service, Body worn from toil and care? You can still be in the battle, In the sacred place of prayer. When the conflict here is ended And our race on earth is run, He will say, if we are faithful, “Welcome home, My child—well done!”
Little is much when God is in it. Use what you have. The little boy gave his lunch and he saw Jesus multiply that.
Use what you have, and then watch for God to work.
You don’t have it figured out, how it will work. Sometimes it will work out in a way you don’t expect. People in financial trouble will get an unexpected gift from someone. Sometimes they promise to do that for a few months.
Watch for God to work.
You have skills, and other people know about those skills. Other people know about people that need those skills. Sometimes they will come and give you a job opportunity. Maybe you have a profile online and a head-hunter will see it and contact you with an opportunity.
The fourth thing is to continue to trust God. The day on the hillside was a wonderful day. God had provided them with a great supper out of a little boy’s lunch of 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread.
But, everyone had to go back home and face life again.
The wonderful song, I Remember the Fish, written by Rodney Griffin, expresses this beautifully.
I Remember the Fish
They sat down for supper in their quiet little house Looked at one another, what was God doing now Times were hard, and debts must be paid Where was God, so little food on their plates Then the daddy broke his silence, and the kids just listened in He said “When I face a challenge, and feel like giving in, I go back to my favorite memory, to be exact it happened here in Galilee When my mamma woke me up and said that we were going out To hear a man named Jesus on a hill outside of town We listened to His sermon, people needed fed I handed him my lunch, you know the rest So no matter how hard life may get I remember the fish I’ve often heard of miracles but never witnessed of one until I was watching the impossible, saw those baskets fill with so much food, there were faces full of joy How my faith grew, that day as just a boy So children learn this lesson, listen to your dad Miracles can happen when you give God all you have Then when you’re weak, draw strength from that day When he met your need and he multiplied your faith Like When my mamma woke me up and said that we were going out To hear a man named Jesus on a hill outside of town We listened to his sermon, people needed fed I handed him my lunch, you know the rest So no matter how hard life may get Just remember the fish O don’t forget what he did Just remember the fish
I don’t know what you’re going through, or what situation you may be facing. But I believe that if you look back on your life, you will remember a time when you were in a situation that you didn’t know the way out of, and God pulled you through it.
This was the Prophet. He was the Christ.
Make sure that you know that you know that if you were to pass from this life you would go to Glory.
Glory awaits those who accept Him.
We may have 100 years of tragedy and suffering or oppression. That’s just a drop in the bucket compared to eternity in Heaven.
When you find Jesus Christ, the Lord comes into your life, and for eternity, you will be in Glory and it will be worth it all.
Our Nation needs a stirring. It needs to be turned upside down!

Acts 17:1-10
17 When they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 According to his custom, Paul went in, and on three Sabbaths he lectured to them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I preach to you, is the Christ.” 4 Some of them were persuaded and joined with Paul and Silas, including a great crowd of devout Greeks and many leading women. 5 But the Jews who did not believe became jealous and, taking some evil men from the marketplace, gathered a crowd, stirred up the city, and attacked the house of Jason, trying to bring them out to the mob. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brothers to the city officials, crying out, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, 7 and Jason has received them. They are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 8 They troubled the crowd and the city officials when they heard these things. 9 When they had taken a bail payment from Jason and the rest, they released them. 10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
What was it like for the men who had the report given that they had turned the world upside down? Sometimes you make a statement and don’t think it will have any effect on someone, but it does. It can cause a turnaround in their life. What were these men like? What had they seen in their lives? What did they see and face?
The apostles turned the world upside down!
They Saw Jesus’ Miracles, Opposition, and Deliverance
When speaking of the 12 apostles, Jesus called them and they started following Him. They saw Him do many miracles. At least 4 of them saw the water turned into wine. They saw the healing of the nobleman’s son. There are 5 more miracles recorded in the book of John.
These were ordinary men. Some were professional fishermen, but they weren’t like the teachers of the Law who had studied it in depth.
But they say the miracles. They saw blind men receive their sight. They saw lame men walk.
They also saw the growing opposition toward Jesus.
They also saw deliverance. Early in Jesus’ ministry, there was a group that wanted to capture and kill Jesus. The Bible says that Jesus stepped into the midst of the crowd and just disappeared. His enemies couldn’t find Him. The apostles witnessed that.
They saw Jesus overcoming the opposition that was coming to Him.
Then it got worse, and Jesus was captured. He was taken before Pilate with a series of false accusations. Even Pilate could find no fault in Him and said He was innocent. But, He was crucified.
The apostles saw the persecution and the death.
They witnessed Christ’s ultimate victory.
But they also saw the greatest victory of all. Three days after His crucifixion, he rose from the dead. Mary told them she had seen the risen Jesus, He was alive. Peter and John ran to the tomb and found it empty.
He is alive!
The apostles were ordinary people like you and me. When the soldiers came and arrested Jesus, they feared for their own lives. All of them forsook Him and fled. But after they saw Jesus alive again after He had been dead, they saw that what He had preached about was true. They saw that because He lives, we, too, can live. They saw that He was the first fruits of the resurrection, and when we go through the valley of the shadow of death, we come out on the other side.
Life After the Ascension
Jesus ascended and went to Heaven. The apostles began to see God working without the physical presence of Jesus. He was there spiritually, and the power of the Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost.
Peter preached and 3,000 souls came to the Lord. (That was just counting the men.) Many came to Christ.
They immediately had a space problem. They had nowhere to meet. They considered the temple, but it was the Jews’, and these people were Christians.
They began meeting in people’s homes daily. They broke bread together, they remembered the Lord as they had communion, and would go to the temple for larger gatherings when they could.
These were the people who saw God moving and it turned their world upside down.
Eighteen centuries after the words about these men that turned the world upside down, according to 100 Verses that Shaped America by Robert Morgan, this verse was one of them.
William Tennent
There was a man named William Tennent who came from Scotland to America in 1718, 58 years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Like many who came to the New World, he was a man of faith and had a prominent role in the founding of the country. Many of them were well educated. William Tennent graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1695.
The Log College
Also, like the others, he saw a need for training new preachers. He built a log cabin. It was a seminary. It became known as The Log College. Men who felt called to preach attended and studied at the college. They studied the Bible, and then they would be equipped to go out and pastor churches.
It was during this time that “The Great Awakening” began in America, and it was all because of the people that came seeking God, not gold, and wanted to evangelize the people who were already here.
George Whitfield
There was another man named George Whitfield who came from England. He was quite an evangelist. He heard about the Log College and offered to come and preach. William Tennent gladly accepted the offer. However, he didn’t know what time George Whitfield was to arrive.
Word spread around the community that he was coming, and a large crowd began to gather at the 20×20 cabin. It turned out to be around 3,000 people! Since he didn’t know when his special speaker was going to arrive, William Tennent took the opportunity to preach a sermon himself. It’s said that it was very powerful.
These men were instrumental in being used by God for the Great Awakening in the fledgling nation.
A recent Gallup poll said that, in the years since they’ve been keeping records, church attendance has been steadily declining. It’s the lowest that it’s ever been.
We need another Great Awakening in the United States. It will not be by our might or power, but by God’s spirit.
These were people who turned the world upside down.
The 12 apostles saw the beginning of the church and the ministry of the church.
They Saw Their Own Miracles, Opposition, and Deliverance on Occasion
Then they began to experience opposition.
Peter was thrown into prison. Prayers for his release went up. That night, an angel came and released Peter from his chains and he was free. He went to the house where he knew the group was gathered and knocked on the door. A young girl went to answer the knock and recognized Peter’s voice. She was so excited that she didn’t even open it but instead ran to tell the others. They thought she was insane. They said it couldn’t be him, it was probably his ghost. Peter continued to knock, and when they finally opened the door, they were astonished. (Acts 12:6-16)
Some of the apostles were imprisoned.
They saw God’s deliverance.
Paul and Silas faced opposition as well. But they also experienced miracles, time and time again, just like they did when Jesus walked the earth. There are stories about it all throughout the book of Acts.
Paul and Silas were thrown into prison in Philippi. At midnight, they were singing praises to God. The other prisoners heard them. Then, an earthquake came and all the doors of the prison were opened and their chains fell away.
Now, the other prisoners were smart. They figured they could just walk out, but they knew they would be recaptured and it would be worse than before.
The jailer came and found the door open and thought all the prisoners had escaped. He was so afraid of the consequences that he pulled out his sword with the intent of killing himself.
But Paul called out to him and told him that they were all still there, and no one had escaped.
The jailer took them out of their cell and took them to his house. He asked what he had to do to be saved. They told him he had to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and he would be saved, as well as anyone in his household who believed. The jailer and his household believed and were saved. (Acts 16: 16-40)
So the apostles had seen deliverance from opposition too.
Just as it was in the life of Jesus, their ministry went on, and they would be delivered time and time again.
The Bible doesn’t tell their whole life stories, the book of Acts just ends, and their lives went on.
They Experienced Ministry, Death, and Ultimate Victory
Many of them were crucified. According to tradition, the Apostle Peter said he wasn’t worthy to be crucified like Jesus was so he was hung upside down on the cross.
Another one was crucified on a cross that was shaped like an “X” as opposed to the traditional one. On a traditional cross, one wouldn’t last very long. This man was in agony for 3 days before he died.
These were some of the same men who had run away before. They were capable of having human fear just like you and me. But they had seen Jesus die and had seen him risen, and knew that it was real. They knew that if they passed from this life and if they knew Jesus, they would pass on to Glory.
It changed their lives. It changed their boldness. They preached time after time, and many souls came to the Lord.
Boldness is needed now!
It didn’t end after that first century. It’s gone on and on and on and is still going on today. Millions have believed because their message was passed on.
They turned the world upside down because they had been with Jesus.
What part of your world needs to be turned upside down? Your school? Your job? Your family? Your nation? Let it happen because you know Jesus and you’re not afraid to talk about Him.
Since 1973, over 60 million babies have been killed. We didn’t stand up! The other side made their voices heard and continues to.
We need to be bold and radical for the Lord.
Your Personal Relationship with Christ
If you have never accepted Christ as your savior, I urge you to find a place to get alone with God and ask Him to come into your heart and your life.
The apostle Paul wrote that if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved and whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:9-13)
The most important prayer.
You may have prayed many times in the past. You may have prayed for safety on a trip, or for the health of a loved one. But have you ever talked to Jesus and told Him that you believe that He is who the Bible says He is and you’re willing to submit your life to Him? Have you ever called upon Him and asked Him to save you? If you’ve not done that, I urge you to do that.
Today I want to talk to you about how to write with writer’s block.
Vlog
Ah, the dreaded writer’s block. You look at a blank page, a cursor is just blinking and you can’t get started. You can’t get anywhere.
I want to give you some advice if you feel like you have it so you can write anyway, Here are seven tips to help you deal with writer’s block.
Write Something Unrelated
Well, first of all, just sit down and write. Write something unrelated. If you do journaling, this would be a good time to do your journal entry. It doesn’t matter what it is. You can write a letter, email, or a funny story. Just write something and then see if your creative juices have gotten started. Then you can turn back to your regular project.
Plan Your Writing
The next thing is to plan your writing.
Have a plan before you begin.
If you’ve not already done this, sit down and devise a plan for your writing. Write down a series of phrases. That’s one way to do it.
In previous posts, I’ve talked about other ways to set up a plan for your writing. You can do questions followed by anywhere from two to seven bullet points. Then you will have a plan for your writing.
Pick a Time to Start
Then pick a time to start. Now this time the start is not based on your feelings. In fact, you probably don’t feel very good about it at all if you’re describing yourself as having writer’s block. But pick a time to start and don’t make it too far away.
Set a Word or Time Goal
Next, you’ll want to pick a word goal or a time goal. The time goal works better for me because I can just write and do free-flow writing and write as quickly as possible. But that may not be your style.
If you’re going to do a word goal you will need to pick the number of words you want to write. You can still write quickly with that method.
Pick a length of time that works for you.
Set a Timer
Set a timer for a specified length of time. I recommend anywhere from five to 25 minutes, whatever seems to work in your situation.
Countdown
Now, here comes the key. You have your plan set there in front of you. You have your timer ready to go off. Then you just count down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and push start.
Finish Your Daily Goal
Stay on target and finish your goals.
Then use your writing prompts and finish the daily goal. Finish it regardless of your feelings.
Sometimes people say they weren’t very inspired on those days. My experience has been that after a few days, I can look back and try to find the day when I didn’t feel inspired, and really can’t tell much difference between the quality of the writing.
That is the key; you have to write. Just force yourself to go through it. If you do it the way I’m talking about, writing can be fun, especially if you use the timer method.
If you’re using the daily word goal method, just keep going until you get the number of words you have set as your daily goal.
I hope this has been helpful to you. Hopefully, you will no longer have writer’s block. When you get started writing and when you look back on it, you will probably find that it wasn’t that bad after all.
Today I’m talking about writing again; specifically talking about how to write a book for Amazon.
What you need to do first of all is to write your book. I’m not going to go into detail about that here. You can check out my other blog posts for that information, or check out my recommendation at the end of this post.
Libre Office
To write your book, you need some software. You may already have word processing software that is bundled with your computer program.
For years, I used Microsoft Word, and I really liked it. I think it’s where most people first learned word processing. Some may have learned on WordPerfect. Then I bought a new computer, and I didn’t have Microsoft Word anymore.
Find a word processing program that works for you.
In the past, I had used Open Office and I was really happy with it. Then I found out that there was a successor to it, called Libre Office.
So if you want a free online word processing program you can download, Libre Office is something I have been very happy with. It’s been very stable. It’s worked for me very well.
With this program, you can save the files as PDF files or as doc or Docx files and so it’s been terrific.
So Libre Office is an alternative that you could use if you don’t already have a software program.
Book Length
I would suggest that you shoot for a book between 100 to 200 pages long. You might go as much as 250. That seems to be a good size, especially if you’re starting out writing a book for Amazon.
Size
Amazon will want to know what size book you want, meaning whether it would be 8 1/2 x 11, or 6×9. They sort of like six by nine. I think you can also do you can do 5 1/2×8 1/2.
I just went with their recommended formats and I’ve really liked doing those books that way.
If you choose a size 6×9, you could set up your word processing program with that 6×9 format, then go through the process of writing your book.
My book talks about how to outline your book come up with your topic and themes, and all of that. That’s outside of the scope of what I’m talking about today.
Free Template/KDP
The next step is to have your book put in the template they want you to use. So since you’re writing for Amazon, I’d recommend that you use Kindle Direct Publishing or KDP publishing. That is especially for Amazon.
Then you will want to copy the words out of your book that you have written in your work into their document.
So they give you the template that looks like a book and then you can paste it in there.
There are a few templates that will help you format your book.
Now if you’re going to write an ebook, it would be good to get to a template for the ebook. You could go to TCK publishing. He used to offer a free template that would help you format your book and he gave you good information as to what fonts to use, and other things like that. TCK publishing stands for Tom Corson-Knowles. (I hope he appreciates this plug) You can get that it’s very good.
Cover Creator
You will also want to paste the cover into the document. You have the option of having someone make a cover for you and then you can put it in, or there is a cover creator where you can create it right there.
I recommend the combination of both. Get someone to help you to create a good picture for a cover and format the cover with the words that you would like. You’ll also need to figure out your back cover copy. Once you get that then paste it into their cover creator.
The nice thing that they do with that is take the predominant color off of the picture that you pasted in and put it on the back cover of the book where the words for your blurb about your book will be placed.
There are so many possibilities!
So those are some tips for how to write a book for Amazon. I hope they’ve been helpful to you.
If you’d like more tips like these, you can go to randycarney.com and that will take you to my website, where there are many more blog posts and videos about writing.

I’m talking about writing again today. Stress-free creative writing.
I’m going to give you some steps to be able to do some stress-free creative writing. Basically, I’m going to talk about three different areas.
Brainstorm
First step.
The first one is to brainstorm. You’re just going to come up with a list of ideas that you want to write about. As you’re making that list of ideas, just write wildly; nothing is too outrageous, because you will be able to choose what is on your list. Once you’ve done that, then choose some ideas from your list that you want to write about.
Statements, Questions, and Headlines
The second area I want to talk about is how to work with those ideas.
So first of all, take your ideas and turn them into statements, questions, or headlines.
Make a list of questions
Questions
Once you have those written down, to the right of your statement, question, or headline, write down a question word: Who, what, when, where, why, how, or what then. Now if you had already written a question then you don’t want to put another question after it.
Key Words or Phrases
Write down some key words or phrases that describe the answer to that question. They can be nouns or verbs, or strong words like that. They can be sensory words like what you see or elicit what you think the smell would be like or what you would hear but some strong keywords.
So once you have done that, you have a page that has sort of an outline. You have a list of questions, statements, or headlines followed by a question word unless your original statement or idea is a question. Then you have three suggested answers to that question.
Once you have your ideas set up in that fashion, then you are ready to go for stress-free creative writing.
Fast Writing
What makes it stress-free is you’ve already come up with the basis of your ideas So now the next part and the magic of doing that is to do fast writing.
Do some fast writing
Read your first question or statement with a question following it. Pick one of those key words or key phrases and start writing just as fast as you can. I find it good to set a timer and write just as fast and furiously as I can until that timer goes off. A good time to set your timer is five minutes. Write as quickly as you can for five minutes.
If that doesn’t give you about 250 words, depending on how fast you can type, then you may want to set it for six minutes or somewhere all the way up to 10 minutes. Just write as fast as you can.
There it is: stress-free creative writing. ✔Brainstorm without agonizing over what you’re writing down in your brainstorming. ✔Make it better by picking just the words and ideas that you want to write about. ✔Put a question word after those ideas ✔Write down three things that would trigger your writing or the answer to the questions. ✔Set your timer and write just as fast as you can.
In a future post, I’ll talk about the editing process. So it is stress-free knowing that the editing comes later.
Highly recommended reading
I hope this has been helpful to you. If you would like more tips like these, I have written a book that outlines in more detail how this process works. It’s called “How to Write a Book in 28 Days or Less Without Stressing Yourself to Death” and is available on Amazon. There is both a hard copy and a Kindle version. I would highly recommend that you get that.

Writing a first-time book, the big picture in a nutshell.
Vlog
Today I’m talking about writing a first-time book. I want to talk about the big picture in a nutshell.
Overview
I’ll talk about the two different kinds of books that you can write and then give you steps for making a basic book in the first category. Then I will talk about how you can make that look fabulous.
Then in the second category, I will talk about four methods of writing that book.
Okay, writing a first-time book in a nutshell. You might not have thought that you could do this but you can.
Step One
Now I’m going to talk first about writing nonfiction.
As you think about writing nonfiction, first of all, you should write a basic book. After that, you should expand that book, edit it, and make it fabulous.
That’s the first two of the four steps to success that I have outlined in book writing and marketing.
Simple steps to writing a book.
Ten Chapters
In our nonfiction book, my advice to you is to write a basic book. To do this, write the 10 most important chapters of that basic book; your 10 key chapters. You can do it like this:
Chapter One
The first chapter will be telling why this book is important. Why people should buy your book, why people should read your book, how it will help them. Take them to everyone’s favorite radio station: which is WIIFM – What’s in it for me? Talk to them about that.
Chapter Two
Chapter two would be an overview of the plan that you have to solve their problem. Most nonfiction books are going to be ways that you would go about helping people solve a particular problem.
Chapters Three Through Nine
Then in chapters three through nine, you take seven steps to solve that problem. Now, they may not be chronological, sometimes they are chunked, they are equal, just put down in chunks, side by side, you can do that too. However, if there is a series of steps that go one before the other, then you would want to do that.
I would recommend that you come up with seven. You might have more ideas, but I suggest that you come up with seven steps to the solution.
Chapter Ten
Then in chapter 10 you would have the summary of that and the next steps they could take.
Research and editing can make it an amazing book!
Make it Fabulous!
The second thing I’m going to talk about with writing nonfiction books is take your basic book, and make it fabulous.
What you will do is take your basic book, which is uniquely you because you have come up with those ten chapters, and you’ve come up with your experiences out of your own mind. This is where you add them in.
Also compare books on that same topic. Look at their tables of contents, see if there’s anything that you have not covered on that topic in your book. Then you will add those chapters in yourself.
So you will take that basic book and edit it somewhat by cutting out some of the unnecessary words and doing a light edit.
Then you will expand it by adding more material that needs to be added. Add in more stories and come up with some of your own stories. Sometimes you can tell your own story but to protect yourself or to keep people from thinking that all you ever do is talk about yourself, you can change the name of the character that you’re talking about.
So you write a basic book, then you expand it and edit it and make it a fabulous book.
Writing Fiction
Create your own story.
The second category would be writing a fiction book. This depends on your personality. What kind of person are you?
Are you an outliner? If you are then you need to outline your entire book. Go for it if you’re really good at that. Then go through and produce a detailed outline for your book.
Others, that just drives them crazy. Some people are known as being “pantsers” which means they write from the seat of their pants.
If that’s you, then you have to have the basic idea of your book. You need to know three conflicts that would occur about a third of the way through, halfway through, and three fourths of the way through. Then you would just write from the seat of your pants, writing toward those conflicts or disasters.
Finally in the hand you bring the resolution.
There is a third method if you would like something between those two. It is from a writer named Randy Ingermanson He has written a book called “The Snowflake Method” which talks about coming up with a basic ideas of where you’re going to go.
The “snowflake method” might work for you.
He talks about fleshing out your characters and giving good summaries of your characters. Then he takes your book in one sentence, then take that one sentence and come up with a one page statement of your book.
Then you take each of those sentences and you write paragraphs on each of those sentences and come up with a synopsis of your book.
Combining that with what you have done for your characters, you can come up with a good nonfiction book.
(I don’t get any commission off of his book but I do recommend it. I think it is very good.)
There’s a fourth one and it is my combination. If you have read my book “How to Write a Book in 28 Days or Less Without Stressing Yousrelf to Death,” you will notice that I take an outline and turn it into a special type of writing plan.
Some call it a blueprint like a blueprint for a house. You can do that for both fiction and nonfiction.
I hope this has been helpful to you and also if you’d like more tips like these click on www.randycarney.com. There, you will find many more videos, blog posts and tips like these.
Well, it’s good to talk with you again. I hope you have a wonderful day. Remember, YOU CAN WRITE A BOOK!
Be sure to check out the video that accompanies this blog. You can see it here.
Sam wanted to write a book but he didn’t know how to go about it. Then he came across his friend Jim who had written a book before.
Jim gave Sam some good advice.
When Jim found out it was a how-to book, he told Sam, “Well, you can write a how-to book. What you need to do first is to figure out what the problem is. Then define that problem. Then come up with some steps to a solution for the problem.
“So when you write your book, you talk about the problem first. Next, you talk a little bit about the plan for accomplishing the problem. Then show the steps to the solution. Finally, at the end, you summarize what you did to get to the solution and suggest a next step for the reader.
I want to start off by talking about writing a basic how-to book and then I’ll talk a little bit more about how you can expand that.
Getting Started
Getting started with your how-to book
First of all, define the problem. Then picture the solution to the problem and what life would be like when the problem was solved. Then brainstorms some steps that it takes to go from problem to solution. Sometimes those steps will be in order, but sometimes they may not be chronological. Either way, figure out a number of steps to get from problem to solution.
The Steps
We think of seven as being the perfect number, at least in my circle of friends. Our Christian worldview and our Biblical worldview, think of seven as being the perfect number. So I would urge you to reorganize what you come up with in your brainstorming into seven steps.
That’s not set in stone. You may not be able to get everything done in seven steps, so maybe you would have eight or nine steps. Or maybe you can cover it in six steps or five steps. So somewhere between five to nine steps, but aim for seven. You may be able to combine some of those steps to make a chapter or split up a step if it looks like it would take longer than the other chapters.
While having done that then you can come up with a basic book. So you may have a little attention-getting introduction at the beginning of your book. But then in your first chapter, you will be introducing the problem, and then it’s a good idea to agitate the problem. For example, “What will life be like if we don’t solve this problem?”
This will get the reader wanting to look at the book and the steps that it will take to solve his problem.
Making progress.
Chapter Two
Then, in chapter two, describe the plan. You’re going to go into detail with the plan in chapter two. Give a brief description of the plan and what they can look forward to in the rest of the book.
Chapters 3 – 9 (ish)
Then chapters three through nine, especially if you had the seven steps as your perfect number, describe the steps. Those would be your chapters three through nine.
Finishing Up
Finally, you come to chapter 10. There, you will summarize and visualize what life is like with the solution to the problem and give the reader the next step.
That’s how to come up with your basic how-to book. These are simple steps to get started.
Roadmap to Success
Now, my roadmap to success in coming up with a great book is to follow these four steps: 1. Come up with a basic book like I just described. 2. Make your basic book, your a good book, a great book. A fabulous book. Take a period of time, (not too long) maybe a month or so. to make your good book, a fabulous book. You will do this by adding stories and examples from your own life. Look at other books in your field. See if you’ve left anything out. If you have then you could add some chapters. You will have trimmed your book and then you will have expanded your book. Then you’ll go back through the editing process again and trim it until you have it where you want it to be. 3. Step three is publishing your book. We will look at the different options for publishing books. There are basically three options for publishing. I guarantee that you can get a book published in this day and age. 4. The fourth is to monetize that book. Get royalties off of it. However, there are also other ways of getting income from a book.
Roadmap to success in writing.
So I urge you to write a basic how-to book and then turn it into a fabulous book. A book that will help others and a book that will fulfill you.
New Coaching Opportunity for You
I also want to let you know about a cool new coaching program that I have, instead of a traditional coaching program which has set times maybe an hour or so per week where we meet together, you can now have unlimited access to me where I coach you using support just like this.
Now the price of this program is much lower than my normal coaching program, and there’s a reason for that. It’s because you can reach out to me and I can reply to you at any time of day. That’s convenient for each of us. This helps my calendar not be so full, allows me to have more time for my own personal writing projects, and it allows me to get back to you within one business day.
I’m offering a new coaching opportunity!
Plus, you can do it not just once a week, but throughout the week. You would think that unlimited that would cost more, but not actually because it does help free up my calendar.
If you’d like more details on this, just let me know. I’d be happy to make a quick video personally explaining my programs.
